Chapter 19 Investment

Lin Nan started to follow the class, and the classmates would also ask questions about this and that. The most asked questions were about life on the set.

The most direct question asked is how to attract investment. This question is very naked and the most difficult for students with no background.

No, Lin Nan saw a long-graduated senior at school, Ning Hao.

I heard that "Incense", which I put a lot of effort into, was lost to my grandma's house.

By the way, Liu Tianwang’s project of directing Asian new stars will probably be started next year. Ning Hao will probably have to work for a while, and "Stone" will have to wait for two years.

"Wait a minute, why do you have to wait two years for King Liu Tianwang? Am I stupid? Cut off his beard."

Lin Nan thought happily that since Ning Hao was idle, he could give him a script, give him funds, and let him work for him.

Without a big cast, no promotion, and not a good schedule, "Stone" was like a dark horse and surprised everyone.

If Lin Nan were to invest, the original team would be making crazy money.

As soon as he said it, Lin Nan went to the photography department and asked, "Do you want Ning Hao's contact information?"

Ning Hao is a 99-level photography major. It must be said that people in the photography department of the film school have long legs. They all entered the directing circle without changing their majors. They are all big names. Representatives: Zhang Yimou, Gu Changwei, Zhang Li...

She only wants the benefits and is not willing to give up her daughter's "ownership rights".

"Really?" Ning Hao asked excitedly.

Lin Nan was a little hesitant. There were too many things at school recently. He was busy making up lessons and fell behind too much.

We chose the place where we had dinner with Director Li Yang last time. Although the place is small, it was just for good luck.

Lin Nan was a little nervous, as a fake Li Gui met the real Li Kui. The original script of "Stone" was written by this senior.

Huang Xiaoming and Nie Yuan are two popular niche players, and Li Yapeng is also a popular candidate.

"Yes, I have a script that I want to shoot but am too lazy to do. I just finished filming a movie." Lin Nan said seriously.

Liu Yifei invited her classmates to visit the class, mainly because they were just having fun. Fairy Sword was about to be finished, Zhang Beard's marketing was booming, and fake news was flying all over the newspapers and websites.

The school is about to hold a movie viewing party. Director Zhang Yimou is going back to his alma mater to promote "House of Flying Daggers". Lin Nan has also received the invitation and is in the first few rows. It is a great honor.

Xing Aina looked at the script and said.

Lin Nan quickly decided on a time. He had to skip class in the afternoon to finish the script.

"Eight million, I don't care about the rest. Senior brother can make full decisions about the filming of the crew."

However, Mr. Cai really wanted to sign Liu Yifei, but Liu's mother was unwilling. Hua Yi took the initiative to contact him several times, but Liu's mother still did not agree.

Sophomore year is almost over. For film school students, it is a matter of course that they have to work on film crews after their sophomore year. The school next door has just begun to relax.

This year is very special. The mainland market is about to see its own commercial film with a box office of over 100 million yuan.

"This script is great, with black humor and comedy."

Now there is an opportunity in front of me. Although it is given by a directing student, this student has already succeeded, right? He is also the boss of a film company who co-produces with Shanghai Film and China Film.

Lin Nan lay dead in the dormitory, and his dream of a villa had to be postponed again. In addition to the four million left for Ning Hao, the company's account only had money for daily expenses.

The signing of the contract went smoothly. Ning Hao has already started to schedule appointments for actors, and filming is scheduled to start early next year. Lin Nan first transferred half of the funds, and the film project application was also submitted.

"Yes, it was just finished more than a week ago."

Lin Nan said it very firmly, but Ning Hao didn't believe it.

Lin Nan felt lucky that now, nearly two years in advance, the script was his.

Nowadays, there are many brokerage companies and many film companies in the capital, and Huayi is a big player in both aspects.

Ning Hao and Xing Aina discussed it for a while and agreed on the spot, "You can go to my company to sign the contract tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. The money will arrive within a week, and I won't care about the rest. By then, those who will be released, China Film, Shanghai Film, and Ray

Can."

Cannes in May has nothing to do with the mainland. There is only a Camera d'Or award, given to domestic directors whose films cannot be screened in the mainland.

The teacher opposite nodded. Ning Hao was his student. The failure of "Incense" had a great impact on Ning Hao. He came back to see him during this period to see if he had any introductions to the crew.

"Did you sign it?"

The popularity of "The Condor" has already reached the sky even before it was launched.

Tieba is now a gathering place for young people, and fans have already taken it upon themselves to build momentum for their favorite actors.

"Visiting class?"

"Director Lin Nan visited the cast of "Sword" after finishing filming "Return to Youth."

Lin Nan hoped that the little something in his stomach would help him pass the exam.

"You are much better than me." Ning Hao laughed at himself.

The screening of "House of Flying Daggers" was held as scheduled at the academy. Director Zhang is indeed a big production, and the cast spans three places.

From last year to now, the box office record of pure mainland movies remains in the hands of director Feng Xiaogang.

Ning Hao and his girlfriend were a little moved.

Ning Hao in 1977, seven years older than Lin Nan, brought his wife, Xing Aina, who was also a senior at the film school.

I didn't recognize the person at first, so how could he be a good fit?

A few days later, Lin Nan met the future actor Huang Bo at school, who was in the same grade as him. He didn't recognize him at first glance and thought it was some parent who came to him.

After staying in school for ten days, I was about to leave to visit the class. I was accompanied by a few acquaintances from the acting department, and they were going to join the group there.

It seemed that Ning Hao acted very quickly and was already making an appointment. "You're welcome. I've seen your movie "Get in the Car and Let's Go" and I think you're quite suitable for this role." Lin Nan started to grin.

The troublesome thing is the school. As a famous alumnus, Zhang Yimou, the actresses he praises are all from next door. Think about it when doing publicity at the film school and the leading actor is from next door during the interview. The school leaders may not look good.

"Yes, try to retain and use these people. I think it is very appropriate. As for the time, it will not take long to shoot the film. Don't put it in this year. It should be released next year at the earliest."

One "Warm and Bright" cannot fully prove its value. It depends on the box office of the second one. It depends on whether it can become a first-line commercial film director in China.

"Mobile Phone" has a box office of 53 million, which is the official data. "Hero" is too beastly, has too much foreign investment, and is released globally, so it is not included in the comparison.

I really don’t blame Lin Nan. There is a ten-year age difference between the two. In this film school where there are many handsome men and beautiful women, the contrast is even more intense.

The promotion of "House of Flying Daggers" has just finished, and the promotion of "A World Without Thieves" has just begun. I heard that Zhou Xingchi is ready to give a speech in college for "Kung Fu".

When Xing Aina turned to the last page, the biggest talent was Guo Tao, but he didn't have a box office movie, so he shouldn't be expensive.

Lin Nanduo said something, giving the other party a reason. You can't just ask him to be the director without a reason.

"Teacher, help me tell him that I can handle the crew and funding. I have watched his "Thursday, Wednesday" and it was very good."

After discussing the cooperation, the three of them happily had a dinner and agreed to sign the contract the day after tomorrow. They had to arrange their own company affairs tomorrow.

Lin Nan suggested not to talk about this matter to anyone else to avoid trouble. Bao Shihong and Brother Dao were both neighbors, so the teacher would have to complain if he knew about it.

Why did you go there, to serve as a backdrop for Director Feng?

If this news were posted after the release of "Return to Youth", it would mean that Lin Nan is still working for Cai Yinong.

Mainly because the second half of this year is too busy.

"I heard that you just finished filming a movie?"

"Let's have a meal at six this afternoon."

Nowadays, when a director makes an appointment for a movie, it is inevitable to cherish it, especially after hearing that the producer is Lin Nan, I have an idea. This is how connections are made.

"House of Flying Daggers" has been confirmed and will be released in North America again after "Hero". Together with "Purple Butterfly" directed by Lou Ye, she has three movies released there this year, and the international chapter is not far away.

Huang Bo took a vocational dubbing class to save the country, just to enter this circle and become an actor.

In the afternoon, Lin Nan did not skip class, but asked for leave. He typed out the script in the dormitory. At least the outline was complete.

"Alright alright."

"Forget it, I won't buy it, the dormitory is pretty good."

However, Mango's "Super Girl" has started, and recently Lin Nan also saw the promotional slogan: Sing if you want!

Lin Nan, who is worthy of being called the actor with high emotional intelligence, was a little embarrassed at first, but after just a few words, the conversation started.

"It has been signed and will start filming early next year."

Ning Hao looked at Lin Nan and sighed in his heart. He was still struggling, but the junior fellow student opposite him at school already had a masterpiece, which was a high-grossing one.

"I've written the actor recommendations at the back of the script. Senior brother can take a look."

If you need a director, you need a director, and if you need an actor, you need an actor. Not long ago, we even recruited Lin Nan, but he politely declined.

At a quarter past five, Lin Nan came out of the printing room, holding a stack of first drafts.

This so-called company is just like Lin Nan's original studio. It's still in its infancy stage, like a bad monkey.

The first and most successful large-scale interactive star-making event in China is about to begin.

"Hello, Director Lin, I am Huang Bo from the dubbing class, level 02 senior vocational..."

Lin Nan didn't know whether to be happy or sad because they couldn't reach the top international directors, so second-rate talents like him became the first choice.

"I'll call him over for you. When is the appointment?"

The mother and godfather of classmate Xiao Liu may have used his powers, but now he has been pre-decided. However, there are still wild rumors outside, but the male lead has not yet been decided.

This time, he was fully prepared, and there were actually reporters. Lin Nan could already think of one of the entertainment headlines in the past few days.

Mainly because of classmate Xiao Liu, otherwise Lin Nan didn't want to visit the class, he didn't want to have too much contact with Cai Yinong, and it was obvious to others that he was utilitarian.

"After this movie, Senior Brother Ning will not be like this now. Investors will take the initiative to find you."

Lin Nan received an invitation from Cai Yinong.

Zhang Ziyi's face is indeed born for the big screen. This year can be said to be the year of Zhang Ziyi, and last year was the year of Zhao Yanzi.

"oh?"

"What about the production cost?" Ning Hao asked.

"It was also at this table that Director Li Yang and I decided to invest in "The Blind Shaft" and were determined that he would win the award."

When we arrived in Hengdian, The Fairy Sword was really about to be finished. Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling'er's children had been born for a long time, and they were about to teach others what love is.

Lin Nan wants to wrap up the investment.

Mother Liu was also at the dinner table. She looked at Lin Nan, her daughter, and the boss of Tang Dynasty. The actors were talking and laughing, especially the latter's attitude. She was a little confused. How could such a kid really become popular? No.

I only made one movie!
